Orchids

Waikiki Beach’s Finest

This beachfront restaurant is the perfect place to enjoy the best that Honolulu has to offer.

Orchids’ food is far from the typical regional fare though. The kitchen uses Japanese flavors to highlight the unique produce and locally caught seafood that you can only find in this area. Their snapper served Orchid-style is classic, with crispy skin and just enough sesame oil to enhance the fish’s already buttery flavor.

Don’t miss the opportunity to see this place at sunset. Reserve a table closest to the beach and you and your guests will have a view better than any postcard. Or start off your night early with Mai Tais at the neighboring House Without a Key, an open-air bar that faces Waikiki Beach.
